But you could try them just above the burn on intact skin along the spine. Might work.
Once the skin is closed over the burn, you could apply them there.
Some of the posters at our RSD forum get Lidocaine IV infusions.
One of our posters here, Malawigirl gets them too. Typically you have to be in a hospital for them. And they don't work for everyone. But when they do work, there can be substantial relief. This wears off over days, or weeks, and then is redone. I think alot depends on what kind of damage you have.

Back when my when my neuropathy was diagnosed, The doctor gave me the lidocane patches. The were over three hundred dollars , It didn't kill the pain at all and my favorite the fall off so I can't go anywhere its like being held hostage, You could cut it to fit your foot but. my toes hurt too, I tried to cut little patches for them it didn't work.
